In this final episode of season one, we chat to the director behind A Christmas Carol, Ellie Hurt. Lovingly adapted for the stage by writer Nick Lane, this production is Dickens like you’ve never seen before! A fast, furious and whacky musical retelling of the original text but with a distinctly Prescot feel. Having received multiple 4 and 5 star reviews this production is a must see and is running until the 7th of January.

Our resident spoken word artist Charlie Staunton is this episode’s interviewer. A writer and performer of spoken word for nearly 10 years, Charlie is also an experienced producer, facilitator, actor, director and musician. His performances tell stories that keep you hooked through intricate wordplay and rhythms. His work has been commissioned by the likes of the BBC, Channel 4 and The National Trust and has been heralded for its sensitive, comedic and playful style. He also runs our Itch and Scratch spoken word nights that run throughout the year for new and experienced spoken word artists. Which you can find out more about Itch and Scratch on our website.

This podcast was hosted by Charlie Staunton and produced by Neve McLaughlin. With special thanks to the creatives of A Christmas Carol. Thanks for listening and we'll see you in 2023 for season two!
